00:01:08.640 --> 00:02:46.120
Looking on good morning, Good morning, good morning, I welcome you the

2
00:02:46.240 --> 00:02:51.639
lesson of the day. We are
to less than one hundred and thirty four.

3
00:02:52.400 --> 00:02:59.520
Let's remind ourselves and say, together, let me perceive forgiveness as it

4
00:02:59.719 --> 00:03:07.199
is. Let me see forgiveness as
it is. And the idea of forgiveness

5
00:03:07.280 --> 00:03:15.159
definitely is one of the most cherished
ideas through this course in miracles. And

6
00:03:15.240 --> 00:03:21.280
of course the more we look at
that, we can immediately see that it

7
00:03:21.319 --> 00:03:29.039
is because I didn't remember correctly how
to forgive and what forgiveness means, that

8
00:03:29.080 --> 00:03:36.919
I first of all needed a course
in miracles. It is because in Miracleus

9
00:03:37.000 --> 00:03:44.599
will which will provide me the ability
to see forgiveness in a true sense.

10
00:03:45.120 --> 00:03:49.759
And we will look at that before
we start out with the text of the

11
00:03:49.879 --> 00:03:54.759
lesson, as Jesus Christ is giving
it to us now, just as a

12
00:03:54.840 --> 00:04:03.159
reminder from where we are coming on
the one hundred thirty four stay in those

13
00:04:03.280 --> 00:04:10.639
different sequences as I call it,
or series of twenty lessons or the first

14
00:04:10.680 --> 00:04:17.120
ones where fifty lessons. And already
in the first fifty lessons we were at

15
00:04:17.199 --> 00:04:24.399
the idea that God is the love
in which I forgive. It set the

16
00:04:24.560 --> 00:04:32.519
space completely clearly, actually in what
energy we accomplish that action of mind and

17
00:04:32.720 --> 00:04:40.600
come to that experience of where we
directed to and leading to to oneness,

18
00:04:40.800 --> 00:04:46.639
right to oneness of mind, to
oneeness of self. So it is the

19
00:04:46.759 --> 00:04:51.120
love of God where this is occurring, and not in my own little human

20
00:04:51.199 --> 00:04:58.279
mind I'm carrying around for over ten
thousand years and pretend as if I would

21
00:04:58.279 --> 00:05:03.199
forgive but in truth holding grievances,
or I would not be here. You

22
00:05:03.240 --> 00:05:09.319
know, that is an admission I
have to make every day, every moment

23
00:05:09.800 --> 00:05:15.480
if I really want to get out
of this place today. And now I

24
00:05:15.560 --> 00:05:18.920
cannot come in here and say,
well, I have solved my problem because

25
00:05:18.959 --> 00:05:27.720
I've read enough of ideas about forgiveness
that and you're laughing, but that's still

26
00:05:27.800 --> 00:05:30.879
not enough. You know, it
is an experience. It has to be

27
00:05:32.000 --> 00:05:38.600
a recognition of how he says it
in the you know, there's a whole

28
00:05:38.680 --> 00:05:46.279
sequence then in the second part where
it is about acquisition of that true knowledge

29
00:05:46.360 --> 00:05:53.120
and of that through perception, and
he says in that introduction of the Lessons

30
00:05:53.120 --> 00:05:59.480
one twenty one to one thirty,
you know that forgiveness is to recognize that

31
00:05:59.519 --> 00:06:02.959
what my rather did to me seemingly
did to me what I perceived, what

32
00:06:03.040 --> 00:06:09.959
I observed right, hasn't happened or
has not occurred, he says. And

33
00:06:10.000 --> 00:06:17.240
then there comes a sentence which really
sums up what we will review and practice

34
00:06:17.480 --> 00:06:23.680
into today's lessons. He says.
Then it doesn't baden sense, It does

35
00:06:23.839 --> 00:06:30.079
not baden sense and make them real. It sees there was no sin.

36
00:06:30.120 --> 00:06:34.839
It sees and recognizes there was no
sin. Now, of course, that

37
00:06:35.079 --> 00:06:41.839
already would need a new understanding of
what sin means. And we know from

38
00:06:43.160 --> 00:06:46.759
from the teachings of the master teacher
of Jesus' mind himself, that we're talking

39
00:06:46.839 --> 00:06:55.800
here about an archery term in Aramaic
kata called which means of the mark right.

40
00:06:56.920 --> 00:07:01.480
Like a guy who is shooting his
error to the target and he misses

41
00:07:01.519 --> 00:07:06.600
the target. I obviously have missed
the target to go home, I obviously

42
00:07:06.680 --> 00:07:15.120
have missed the target to recognize my
true self in you. And therefore I've

43
00:07:15.240 --> 00:07:20.079
been given a second chance to practice
forgiveness. And that second chance is offered

44
00:07:20.120 --> 00:07:28.439
me every moment through everything, no
matter if it is a very painful conflict

45
00:07:28.519 --> 00:07:33.040
or experience, or it is a
very loving and seeming happily occurrent it's the

46
00:07:33.240 --> 00:07:41.720
same opportunity to recognize that actually none
of this has occurred, which means I

47
00:07:41.959 --> 00:07:46.720
have not occurred on time space and
nobody really wants to admit that, but

48
00:07:46.879 --> 00:07:53.000
it is true. It is true. And then we have proceeded in the

49
00:07:53.040 --> 00:08:01.000
second sequence of the sixties most like
forgiveness is my function the light of the

50
00:08:01.040 --> 00:08:05.800
world, for example sixty two,
and let me not forget my function.

51
00:08:07.360 --> 00:08:13.680
And already many many of these lessons
have directed us, and even giving and

52
00:08:13.759 --> 00:08:20.040
receiving, we recognized we are actually
talking about that action and that idea of

53
00:08:20.160 --> 00:08:26.920
forgiving, and we started this sequence
of the one hundred twenty one to one

54
00:08:26.000 --> 00:08:35.080
hundred forty is forgiveness is the key
to happiness, and forgiveness offers me everything

55
00:08:35.440 --> 00:08:45.200
I want and more right so welcome
in another idea of really now, kind

56
00:08:45.279 --> 00:08:54.240
of looking to a reason, never
on a reasonable lever that forgiveness has to

57
00:08:54.320 --> 00:09:03.440
be something else than what we were
carying with our as an understanding of how

58
00:09:03.480 --> 00:09:09.279
he calls it. Here also badening, badening in with an idea of still

59
00:09:09.639 --> 00:09:16.399
holding sin real or maintaining things sin. Yeah. See. Sometimes, of

60
00:09:16.480 --> 00:09:26.799
course we are so involved with with
that connection and communication with God we completely

61
00:09:28.000 --> 00:09:31.279
forget, and for goodness sake,
we forget. We forget from where we

62
00:09:31.360 --> 00:09:39.320
are coming from, from which mindset
we are coming from. And at certain

63
00:09:39.360 --> 00:09:45.360
points when he makes that differentiation and
leads us to dru forgiveness, it's good

64
00:09:45.399 --> 00:09:50.279
to remember again that I'm actually coming
from an eye for an eye and the

65
00:09:50.399 --> 00:09:56.159
dooce for it those. Okay,
That's where I'm coming from. You have

66
00:09:56.240 --> 00:10:00.519
done this to me, you son
of it be, and I'm gonna get

67
00:10:00.759 --> 00:10:05.480
even with you and will show you. You know, that's the human condition.

68
00:10:07.360 --> 00:10:13.759
We're coming from complete separation and from
a complete determination to maintain the separation,

69
00:10:13.360 --> 00:10:18.759
now just with a little you know, like maintained in a cloak of

70
00:10:20.080 --> 00:10:26.000
spirituality, you know, because now
I've accumulated a little bit of some magical

71
00:10:26.080 --> 00:10:31.639
tricks. You know. You know, we all know it, you know,

72
00:10:31.879 --> 00:10:35.960
the longer we are actually being with
Jesus, And in this course we

73
00:10:35.080 --> 00:10:45.559
know it perfectly well when in moments
of devastation that are completely unnecessary, but

74
00:10:45.679 --> 00:10:52.159
we know it in those moments that
we haven't accomplished anything in time space unless

75
00:10:52.200 --> 00:11:00.440
there's a full integration of ourselves.
That means all thoughts that are ever made

76
00:11:00.559 --> 00:11:07.039
up and fabricated in my human conceptual
mind as myself, and let it stand.

77
00:11:07.159 --> 00:11:13.639
They are representing it my word which
I used. The Light and love

78
00:11:13.759 --> 00:11:20.200
of Heaven needs now to be integrated
in a sense of I have to take

79
00:11:20.320 --> 00:11:24.960
them with me back home in heaven. The Drusies, they are already back

80
00:11:26.000 --> 00:11:30.879
in heaven. The Drusies, they
never were anything except the light in its

81
00:11:31.120 --> 00:11:37.600
entirety. There were never anything in
its limited demonstration of bodies and images of

82
00:11:37.679 --> 00:11:45.200
the world. Never ever nothing.
He calls it clearly in the cause meaninglessness,

83
00:11:45.200 --> 00:11:50.679
he calls it. And that's why
forgiveness is that practice and that action

84
00:11:52.240 --> 00:11:58.399
to look through, literally looking through
with the power of mind through what I

85
00:11:58.480 --> 00:12:07.519
made up, yeah, as illusionary
imaituary thought form. And you know,

86
00:12:07.600 --> 00:12:11.679
I can choose if I want to
have a great experience and enjoy myself in

87
00:12:11.720 --> 00:12:24.519
that or if I think that this
is kind of sacrificial practice. And but

88
00:12:24.720 --> 00:12:31.039
you know, we don't want to
be ridiculous at this point. The best

89
00:12:31.240 --> 00:12:35.799
is to get over myself, right, which means to let it go whatever

90
00:12:35.919 --> 00:12:41.879
it is, you know, and
remember what is really present and can really

91
00:12:43.080 --> 00:12:48.720
be seen here and now. And
that is a full acknowledgment that what I

92
00:12:48.879 --> 00:12:54.039
see here as form association is not
there at all, cannot be seen at

93
00:12:54.080 --> 00:13:01.120
all, And you know the moment
I need that regularly in my daily practice

94
00:13:01.200 --> 00:13:05.559
and my daily affairs. You know, it goes in my mind more like

95
00:13:05.879 --> 00:13:15.399
this, Am I doing here something
that that I would feel that there's something

96
00:13:16.000 --> 00:13:20.600
quote real going on? Would that
would have again some effects on me and

97
00:13:20.639 --> 00:13:26.720
my remembrance. I'm actually not doing
here anything, no matter what it is.

98
00:13:26.879 --> 00:13:31.200
Right now, I'm not doing anything. My mind is just open in

99
00:13:31.240 --> 00:13:37.799
that communication with his mind listening actually
to a voice that has no correspondence to

100
00:13:37.879 --> 00:13:46.840
the world whatsoever. And that's not
the doing. And therefore, you know,

101
00:13:48.320 --> 00:13:54.720
there comes a relaxation in you know, if I remember I'm not doing

102
00:13:54.799 --> 00:14:01.559
anything here, I also remember I'm
not here at all as a limited form

103
00:14:01.240 --> 00:14:09.720
of mind. And that's a deeper
relaxation into what is present here, which

104
00:14:09.759 --> 00:14:13.279
is the love of God, which
is the peace of God. And this

105
00:14:13.440 --> 00:14:20.240
is a ah, it is nothing
else than that God. Am I great

106
00:14:20.360 --> 00:14:26.320
for it? And I don't need
to do that. And I heard that

107
00:14:26.480 --> 00:14:31.799
in one of your demonstrations to Eric, thank you so much of being here.

108
00:14:31.879 --> 00:14:35.559
Now this is a really yes,
Oh, this is good. You

109
00:14:35.639 --> 00:14:43.919
know this is good that I'm not
really doing anything here. And I think

110
00:14:43.960 --> 00:14:50.039
that's the only reason why we put
music in between between the talk, and

111
00:14:50.080 --> 00:14:58.279
it's just a reminding me I'm actually
not really doing anything here, all right,

112
00:14:58.320 --> 00:15:03.279
and let's just put some music in
here. I have here. I

113
00:15:03.279 --> 00:16:52.080
have no idea, but Viennese sounds
is good for me as a bords Cai.

114
00:16:53.600 --> 00:18:00.559
So up, stick, sun stick, stay, thank you so much.

115
00:18:02.160 --> 00:18:11.160
Those are the words sounds of Johann
Strauss, one of my contemporaries of

116
00:18:11.279 --> 00:18:19.359
the last century. A reel.
You look very content well after a meal

117
00:18:19.440 --> 00:18:25.160
at the milk pow of Aerica,
could it not be? That's a state

118
00:18:25.200 --> 00:18:30.119
of forgiveness right there. And you
know, like what just came in my

119
00:18:30.240 --> 00:18:37.960
mind listening to these words or say
is because that practice is not, you

120
00:18:38.039 --> 00:18:44.920
know, not for the first time. I'm trying to practice coming to that

121
00:18:45.400 --> 00:18:52.039
reconnection with God. But this time
it is different in the sense of Jesus

122
00:18:52.160 --> 00:18:59.400
Christ forces me literally under quotes to
admit that I'm the cause of what I

123
00:18:59.480 --> 00:19:04.079
see, no matter if I say
or if I determine I'm right, Because

124
00:19:04.119 --> 00:19:10.559
I might be even right right in
the appearance, but I'm still wrong in

125
00:19:10.680 --> 00:19:18.519
truth right, because being right and
defending to be right is by itself in

126
00:19:18.559 --> 00:19:25.400
itself, a state of separation.
And I'm just starting out the lesson with

127
00:19:25.559 --> 00:19:30.400
the last sentence. I'm supposed to
carry along all through the day, and

128
00:19:30.480 --> 00:19:34.920
I will try to remember this one
sentence the best I can throughout today.

129
00:19:36.720 --> 00:19:41.480
No one is crucified alone, and
yet no one can enter heaven by himself.

130
00:19:42.480 --> 00:19:49.839
No one is crucified alone, and
yet no one can enter Heaven can

131
00:19:49.920 --> 00:20:00.279
go home by himself. That shows
me that it needs an action of mind,

132
00:20:00.359 --> 00:20:07.160
that shows me the unification of myself, that I split up and fragmented,

133
00:20:07.640 --> 00:20:12.000
right, because if anyone is crucified, it will be me, and

134
00:20:12.079 --> 00:20:18.920
it needs my remembrance as an action
of forgiveness that this has not occurred,

135
00:20:18.279 --> 00:20:23.400
right, or isn't there at all. And on the other hand, no

136
00:20:23.440 --> 00:20:30.680
one I cannot ender heaven by myself
means I have to take you with me.

137
00:20:30.119 --> 00:20:36.519
I have to take all of my
thoughts with me in that experience of

138
00:20:36.559 --> 00:20:42.079
going home, And that I think
makes all the difference. And that's why

139
00:20:42.279 --> 00:20:49.000
at some point we say we have
no words anymore, or words cannot really

140
00:20:52.039 --> 00:21:00.200
talk about what we what we are
teaching here it does go beyond the words,

141
00:21:00.440 --> 00:21:07.759
and so Jesus just gives us a
framework of words so that we can

142
00:21:08.119 --> 00:21:15.920
enter into that experience without defense.
And it is quite an interesting section of

143
00:21:17.000 --> 00:21:22.559
those now in the one thirties that
we were just for a couple of days

144
00:21:22.599 --> 00:21:26.160
really looking at. Okay, I
will not value what is valueless, and

145
00:21:26.200 --> 00:21:33.200
the word is actually offering me my
own valuelessness. And now I say no,

146
00:21:33.440 --> 00:21:38.359
thank you, you know, and
really go beyond this world. That

147
00:21:38.559 --> 00:21:45.519
shows me the real world and my
real connection with God. And now from

148
00:21:45.559 --> 00:21:51.839
today's lesson on let me perceive forgiveness
as it is tomorrow, we will be

149
00:21:52.039 --> 00:21:56.680
very clearly directed to if I defend
myself, I'm attacked, you know.

150
00:21:56.759 --> 00:22:03.359
And that's a simultaneous action. When
I've one thirty six says, it talks

151
00:22:03.400 --> 00:22:10.039
about sickness because a mind in defense
in separation is sick that's only sickness in

152
00:22:10.079 --> 00:22:15.359
the mind. Sickness is a defense
against the truss. And from there it

153
00:22:15.480 --> 00:22:22.279
goes into healing again and shows us
when I'm healed, I'm not healed alone

154
00:22:23.200 --> 00:22:30.680
and heaven one thirty eight is that
decision I must make and I will accept

155
00:22:30.720 --> 00:22:34.119
at one month for myself. You
know, it's like quite interestingly set up.

156
00:22:34.160 --> 00:22:41.920
It's the longest lessons of the entire
workbook which we are proceeding into.

157
00:22:41.720 --> 00:22:48.519
All right, so lessen one thirty
four because we have also twice a day,

158
00:22:48.160 --> 00:22:53.640
two practice periods of each fifteen minutes, and we are already in truth

159
00:22:55.079 --> 00:22:59.519
in that practice. Now, if
you'll really look at your mind, you

160
00:22:59.759 --> 00:23:08.240
are already in that clear view and
openness of mind of acknowledging. Okay,

161
00:23:08.240 --> 00:23:15.559
there is actually no word here.
Let us review the meaning of forgive.

162
00:23:17.079 --> 00:23:21.680
Right, there's a meaning of forgive. Let us review that meaning of forgive,

163
00:23:22.440 --> 00:23:27.200
for it is apt to be distorted
and to be perceived as something that

164
00:23:27.519 --> 00:23:38.200
entails an unfair sacrifice of righteous rough, a gift unjustified and undie served,

165
00:23:38.759 --> 00:23:44.680
and the complete denial of the truth. Well I kind of sumped it up

166
00:23:44.720 --> 00:23:48.440
with an eye for an eye and
the tooth for those. Yeah, but

167
00:23:48.720 --> 00:23:52.359
it is there are always the justification, and you see it, no matter

168
00:23:52.920 --> 00:24:00.319
what point of view, any path
of political party or world view is taking,

169
00:24:00.759 --> 00:24:04.640
it is always set in separation.
There's always the enemy out there.

170
00:24:04.960 --> 00:24:11.279
There's always the evil out there that
needs to be fought and overcome, you

171
00:24:11.319 --> 00:24:15.400
know, and extinguished. By you
know, as if there would be a

172
00:24:15.480 --> 00:24:25.960
solution by annihilating a bad of my
own mind that is actually nothing. Yeah,

173
00:24:26.559 --> 00:24:30.319
in such a view, forgiveness must
be seen as mere. He calls

174
00:24:30.359 --> 00:24:38.079
it an eccentric folly, and this
caused a bear to rest salvation on a

175
00:24:38.200 --> 00:24:45.680
whim. He calls it again,
this is a twisted view. This twisted

176
00:24:45.799 --> 00:24:51.759
view of what forgiveness means is easily
corrected. Did you hear that it is

177
00:24:51.880 --> 00:24:59.920
easily corrected when you can accept the
fact that now he uses the word baden

178
00:25:00.240 --> 00:25:07.440
but is not asked for what is
true? Well, butadened and badening in

179
00:25:07.559 --> 00:25:11.200
English, I looked it up,
can be used in quite different ways,

180
00:25:11.319 --> 00:25:17.839
you know. And you can use
it in a way also of an understanding

181
00:25:17.960 --> 00:25:22.240
of forgiveness and of a true action
of forgiveness. But in the world it

182
00:25:22.359 --> 00:25:30.799
is mostly understood you are badoned because
you were seventy years in jail and now

183
00:25:30.799 --> 00:25:36.480
you're going to be released, So
you're badoned of the sentence that you were

184
00:25:36.559 --> 00:25:45.920
suffering, or you I badon you. Well, if I don't understand what

185
00:25:45.960 --> 00:25:51.839
you said, what do I say? Beg your butdon it's also a kind

186
00:25:51.880 --> 00:26:00.519
of I'm excusing myself for not being
completely aligned. And actually I would let

187
00:26:00.599 --> 00:26:08.680
you in the repetition, let you
show me what the true meaning of our

188
00:26:08.759 --> 00:26:15.440
coming together is. That is actually
quite an interesting perspective. But you know

189
00:26:15.279 --> 00:26:22.799
I'm immediately offering another chance for that
alignment. It must be limited to what

190
00:26:22.960 --> 00:26:33.119
this falls. It is irrelevant to
everything except delusions. Truth is God's creation,

191
00:26:33.160 --> 00:26:40.279
and to Baden that is meaningless.
Right you heard that truth is God's

192
00:26:40.279 --> 00:26:45.519
creation and to Baden that is meaningless. Or truth belongs to him, belongs

193
00:26:45.559 --> 00:26:52.839
to God, reflects his laws,
and radiates his love. Any questions about

194
00:26:52.880 --> 00:26:59.000
that, I think it speaks for
itself. It's pretty clear. Right does

195
00:26:59.079 --> 00:27:06.200
this need How can you forgive the
sinless and eternally benign? Well, it's

196
00:27:06.400 --> 00:27:12.799
obvious again this does not baden.
I only need baden or forgiveness, because

197
00:27:12.960 --> 00:27:22.720
obviously I have replaced the memory of
truths with my meanings of illusions and believe

198
00:27:22.839 --> 00:27:26.559
illusions have a reality or a real
effect on me, which would make sin

199
00:27:26.880 --> 00:27:33.240
real. Instead of understanding, this
is just a thought of the mark right

200
00:27:33.680 --> 00:27:41.359
of the target of truths. Next
paragraph. The major difficulty that you find

201
00:27:41.480 --> 00:27:48.359
in genuine forgiveness on your bad is
he says you still believe you must forgive

202
00:27:48.440 --> 00:27:55.799
the truth and not illusions. Interesting, there's actually a concept in my mind

203
00:27:55.920 --> 00:28:03.440
that believes I must forgive the truth
and not illusions, which indicates also there

204
00:28:03.480 --> 00:28:08.680
must be a sense of guilt in
the mind. You conceive of Baden as

205
00:28:08.720 --> 00:28:15.440
a vain attempt to look past what
is there, to overlook the truth in

206
00:28:15.480 --> 00:28:22.480
an unfounded effort to deceive yourself by
making an illusion true. This twisted viewpoint

207
00:28:23.079 --> 00:28:30.200
but reflects the hold that the idea
of sin retains as yet upon your mind

208
00:28:30.720 --> 00:28:38.319
as you regard yourself. Next sentence, again, he says, you think

209
00:28:38.440 --> 00:28:44.880
your sins are real because you think
your sins are real, because you still

210
00:28:45.039 --> 00:28:51.640
believe you think your sins are real. You look on Baden as deception,

211
00:28:52.960 --> 00:28:57.559
for it is impossible you think of
sin as true and not believe forgiveness is

212
00:28:57.599 --> 00:29:04.079
a lie? Does is forgiveness?
Really? But the sin, like all

213
00:29:04.400 --> 00:29:11.759
the rest, see, that is
now a very valuable reasonable idea. Yeah,

214
00:29:11.920 --> 00:29:18.920
the moment I can understand that I'm
actually not understanding that sin is off

215
00:29:19.079 --> 00:29:23.839
the mark and now needs the correction, He tells me, you actually put

216
00:29:23.880 --> 00:29:29.640
it on the same level. It's
the same to you. You really think

217
00:29:29.759 --> 00:29:37.680
it is nothing else than another thin, same category. Yeah, it says

218
00:29:37.720 --> 00:29:44.119
the truth is false and smiles on
the corrupt as if they were as blameless

219
00:29:44.279 --> 00:29:49.440
as the grass, as white as
snow. It is delusional in what it

220
00:29:49.599 --> 00:29:55.960
thinks it can accomplish. It would
see as right, the plainly wrong,

221
00:29:56.720 --> 00:30:03.720
the low sum as the good.
So are really incredible expressions of showing me

222
00:30:03.960 --> 00:30:11.599
how twisted and that has been dealt
with in the human conceptual mind. Baden

223
00:30:12.079 --> 00:30:18.240
is no escape in such a view. It merely is a further sign that

224
00:30:18.480 --> 00:30:25.599
sin is unforgivable at best. To
be concealed, denied, or called another

225
00:30:25.720 --> 00:30:33.599
name for baden is a treachery for
truth. And you know, like just

226
00:30:33.599 --> 00:30:38.759
look at the word and what you
see and what information you get, because

227
00:30:38.839 --> 00:30:42.759
that is your mind, you know. And whenever there is the expression of

228
00:30:44.039 --> 00:30:52.079
bardening, someone still on the basis
that guilt is justified and is intact.

229
00:30:52.240 --> 00:30:55.400
You know, while I'm gonna bardon
you, you know, or I'm the

230
00:30:55.519 --> 00:30:59.359
judge or I'm just your friend,
I'm gonna barden you. But you will

231
00:30:59.400 --> 00:31:06.079
still suffer of the sin you committed. You will still receive the just punishment

232
00:31:06.559 --> 00:31:10.920
that you deserve. That is how
the world thinks about forgiveness. You know,

233
00:31:11.440 --> 00:31:14.599
that is kind of well, we
bandon you because the law is,

234
00:31:14.720 --> 00:31:18.720
you know, you were seventy years
in jail anyway or no matter. You

235
00:31:18.759 --> 00:31:25.079
know, well, at some point
I recognize that it doesn't it's that doesn't

236
00:31:25.119 --> 00:31:29.440
feel so good to hold on on
the grievance anymore. You know, I

237
00:31:29.480 --> 00:31:34.079
have all you know, there's already
all over cancer and whatever sickness in the

238
00:31:34.160 --> 00:31:38.880
expression. You know, I might
just band you, right, but you

239
00:31:40.039 --> 00:31:45.200
still deserve the punishment. And you
know from whom from where the punishment is

240
00:31:45.240 --> 00:31:49.519
supposed to come, God is going
to be used to punish you. That

241
00:31:49.519 --> 00:31:52.920
that's how they're taching it in the
established religions. You know. That's why

242
00:31:52.960 --> 00:31:56.920
I'm so grateful for this cause in
mirracle, because it just cuts it all

243
00:31:57.000 --> 00:32:01.079
off, you know, saying if
you think like this, you know,

244
00:32:01.640 --> 00:32:09.000
let's go for the correction right now. That's my gratitude to this lesson because

245
00:32:09.039 --> 00:32:15.319
it shows me very clearly how that
has to occur, that correction in my

246
00:32:15.440 --> 00:32:22.279
mind, because I'm coming from that
mindset. Of course, here it is

247
00:32:22.839 --> 00:32:29.359
guilt cannot be forgiven. You know, if you sin, your guilt is

248
00:32:29.480 --> 00:32:35.960
ever lasting and that's really the definition
of sin, and sin is like said,

249
00:32:36.200 --> 00:32:40.680
it's fixed. You know. It's
like so a definition of yourself fixed.

250
00:32:40.720 --> 00:32:50.000
You cannot escape, and therefore the
only escape could only be what that.

251
00:32:50.519 --> 00:32:52.720
Of course, that's what the ego
teaches and puts up there. You

252
00:32:52.759 --> 00:32:59.160
know, you could only temporarily escape
through this, and that's all the ego

253
00:32:59.240 --> 00:33:04.599
wants that you. You're supposed to
believe, not anymore. Thank you,

254
00:33:05.440 --> 00:33:09.519
thank you, thanks for being here. And those who are forgiven from the

255
00:33:09.640 --> 00:33:19.119
view their sins are real are pitifully
mocked and twice contempt first by themselves for

256
00:33:19.200 --> 00:33:23.519
what they think they did, and
once again by those who butaden them.

257
00:33:23.680 --> 00:33:29.759
Yeah, because that badening is not
a true experience of release or forgiveness,

258
00:33:30.200 --> 00:33:34.799
of joining of oneness. What do
I need for that? Tell me a

259
00:33:34.839 --> 00:33:38.559
holy instant? We need a holy
instant I have to offer to myself a

260
00:33:38.640 --> 00:33:44.839
holy instant. That's in the holy
instant, the union of mind, the

261
00:33:44.880 --> 00:33:52.400
oneness of mind is recognized the first
time in that human that are a human

262
00:33:52.480 --> 00:33:58.559
state of mind that I really consciously
realized a holy instant. You know,

263
00:33:58.599 --> 00:34:02.079
I was just crying like a baby, you know, because I immediately I

264
00:34:02.160 --> 00:34:06.400
felt, oh my God, this
is all just me, you know,

265
00:34:07.079 --> 00:34:10.480
and and it's really true that it's
what I was reading it that I'm just

266
00:34:10.519 --> 00:34:15.639
doing it to myself, you know, you know, to feel our one

267
00:34:15.880 --> 00:34:22.519
self and the pain that we left
out there in that seeming reflection of our

268
00:34:22.599 --> 00:34:27.840
of our own self in the world, you know, comes back and is

269
00:34:28.119 --> 00:34:32.840
felt and unifies with our own self
and mind. And that is what the

270
00:34:32.920 --> 00:34:37.719
Holy instant offers, and that is
released and that is what we right now

271
00:34:37.760 --> 00:35:01.760
experience, isn't it for thank thank
yeah, And we see immediately there's only

272
00:35:01.960 --> 00:35:16.679
light in the mind, you know, incredible light, incredible light. Thank

273
00:35:16.760 --> 00:35:35.199
you, and thank you for that
opportunity to practice that. And I'm like,

274
00:35:37.000 --> 00:36:21.639
I need more than fifteen minutes.
Yeah yeah, m hmmm. Let's

275
00:36:21.639 --> 00:36:49.719
stand and now see how Jesus goes
with that in uh in this lesson to

276
00:36:51.800 --> 00:36:58.440
show us what forgiveness really offers us
and what it is all about it.

277
00:36:59.400 --> 00:37:10.840
And the first says it is since
unreality that makes forgiveness natural and holy holy

278
00:37:12.039 --> 00:37:21.079
saying, a deep relief. Here
you have it, a deep relief to

279
00:37:21.280 --> 00:37:30.360
those who offer it, a quiet
blessing where it is received. It does

280
00:37:30.480 --> 00:37:42.519
not countenance illusions, but collect them
lightly with a little laugh. Okay,

281
00:37:42.639 --> 00:37:52.599
don't forget to smile. There's a
little laugh, and gently, gently lays

282
00:37:52.679 --> 00:38:00.519
them at the feet of truth.
Gently we are lay them at the feet

283
00:38:00.559 --> 00:38:10.079
of truth. And there and there, and there and there and there they

284
00:38:10.079 --> 00:38:20.400
disappear entirely, they disappear. That
is theny good news. You are in

285
00:38:20.400 --> 00:38:27.400
a full recognition that your illusions of
your own making disappear in that light you

286
00:38:27.519 --> 00:38:42.480
experience. They disappear entirely. They
disappear in his life. Forgiveness is the

287
00:38:42.519 --> 00:38:49.719
only thing that stands for truth in
the illusions of the world, the only

288
00:38:50.119 --> 00:38:59.480
the only thought, the only idea. It sees here, it is they

289
00:38:59.519 --> 00:39:06.360
are not thingness. It sees there
are nothingness, and looks straight through that

290
00:39:06.840 --> 00:39:12.599
thousand forms. And let's practice that
now. You know, whatever you see

291
00:39:12.960 --> 00:39:16.960
is that power of mind. You
can look straight through it. It's really

292
00:39:17.079 --> 00:39:22.199
just a hologram of reflections of light, nothing else. We're looking through that

293
00:39:22.800 --> 00:39:30.159
into the light, through the thousand
forms in which they may appear, may

294
00:39:30.400 --> 00:39:39.119
appear. It looks on lies,
but it is not deceived. It doesn't

295
00:39:39.280 --> 00:39:47.559
heed the self accusing shrieks of sinners
mad with guilt. They see it's the

296
00:39:47.639 --> 00:39:54.800
guilt that drives the mind to madness
and into that kind of thought system as

297
00:39:54.800 --> 00:40:01.559
he reviewed it before, where guilt
is real, where the sin is fixed

298
00:40:01.920 --> 00:40:12.800
and unforgivable. No more. It
looks on them with quiet eyes and merely

299
00:40:12.920 --> 00:40:21.880
says to them, my brother,
what you think is not the truth.

300
00:40:22.239 --> 00:40:29.440
That's simple, okay, Now say
that to your word, my brother,

301
00:40:30.280 --> 00:40:36.840
word, what you think is not
the truths. The strength of Baden is

302
00:40:36.880 --> 00:40:44.679
its honesty, which is so uncorrupted
that it's sees solutions as solutions. It's

303
00:40:44.719 --> 00:40:51.719
sees solutions as solutions, not as
truss It is because of this that it

304
00:40:51.840 --> 00:40:59.639
becomes. He calls it the undeceiver
in the face of lies. He calls

305
00:40:59.679 --> 00:41:09.480
it the great restorer of the simple
truth. By its ability to overlook what

306
00:41:09.719 --> 00:41:19.039
is not there, it opens up
the way to truth which has been blocked

307
00:41:19.599 --> 00:41:25.079
by dreams of guilt. It opens
up the way to truth which has been

308
00:41:25.119 --> 00:41:30.360
blocked by dreams of guilt. Now, now are you free to follow in

309
00:41:30.440 --> 00:41:45.239
the way your true forgiveness opens up
to you. For if one brother has

310
00:41:45.360 --> 00:41:52.280
received this gift of you, the
door is open to yourself. And you

311
00:41:52.360 --> 00:41:54.679
remember it was just three days ago, in less than one thirty one,

312
00:41:55.119 --> 00:42:00.880
where he talked about you know that
door, and you we are supposed to

313
00:42:00.920 --> 00:42:06.880
open the door and actually see what
is behind there. And we are seeing

314
00:42:06.920 --> 00:42:13.000
that light of forgiveness behind the door, and recognize that door is truly wide

315
00:42:13.079 --> 00:42:22.280
opening. There is a very simple
way to find the door to drove forgiveness

316
00:42:22.679 --> 00:42:29.840
and perceive it here it is open, wide in welcome. When you feel

317
00:42:30.320 --> 00:42:36.599
that you attempted to accuse someone of
sin in any form, to not here

318
00:42:36.760 --> 00:42:43.119
an instruction. See that's an instruction. Do not allow your mind to dwell

319
00:42:43.320 --> 00:42:49.360
on what you think he did.
I'm supposed to not allow my mind to

320
00:42:49.519 --> 00:42:55.679
dwell on what I think he did, for that is self deception, and

321
00:42:55.719 --> 00:43:02.559
self deception is a form of death. It's an idea of death. Ask

322
00:43:02.880 --> 00:43:09.159
instead, would I accuse myself of
doing this? Okay, let's practice,

323
00:43:09.199 --> 00:43:15.360
ask yourself, would I accuse myself
of doing this? And now he gives

324
00:43:15.400 --> 00:43:17.639
you. Then also you should think
of a brother, of course, or

325
00:43:19.039 --> 00:43:23.519
of anybody in your mind. And
thus, when you see alternatives for choice

326
00:43:23.679 --> 00:43:30.000
in terms that render choosing meaningful,
and keep your mind as free of guilt

327
00:43:30.519 --> 00:43:35.280
and pain as God himself intended it
to be, and as it is in

328
00:43:35.400 --> 00:43:43.239
truth. It is but lies that
would contemn in truth is Now he comes

329
00:43:43.280 --> 00:43:49.199
in with a new term, But
that's a term really representing what we are

330
00:43:49.280 --> 00:43:54.920
in truth. Say to me,
innocence in truth is innocence. The only

331
00:43:55.039 --> 00:44:01.679
thing there is inno sense is the
only thing that is. Forgiveness stands between

332
00:44:01.920 --> 00:44:08.719
illusions and the truth, between the
world you see and that which lies beyond,

333
00:44:09.599 --> 00:44:20.599
between the hell of guilt and Heaven's
gath across the bridge you see.

334
00:44:20.639 --> 00:44:25.760
Forgiveness is the bridge, a bridge
as powerful as love, as God's love

335
00:44:27.239 --> 00:44:32.360
which laid its blessing on it.
Are all dreams of evil and of hatred

336
00:44:32.480 --> 00:44:37.840
and the attack brought silently to truth. They are brought silently to truth.

337
00:44:38.320 --> 00:44:44.239
They are not kept to swell and
bluster and to terrify the foolish dreamer who

338
00:44:44.239 --> 00:44:52.039
believes in them. He has been
gently wakened from his dream by understanding what

339
00:44:52.119 --> 00:45:01.360
he thought he saw again was never
there, was never there, And now

340
00:45:01.920 --> 00:45:08.519
now he cannot feel that all escape
has been denied to him. He doesn't

341
00:45:08.599 --> 00:45:16.920
have to fight to save himself.
And this is really my own and chesus

342
00:45:16.920 --> 00:45:23.320
invitation to the world, to everyone
who is still defending and holding up that

343
00:45:23.679 --> 00:45:30.440
separation, in that righteousness of I'm
right, and out there are the bad

344
00:45:30.559 --> 00:45:35.840
guys, you know, like you
know I'm talking here to all our presidents

345
00:45:35.880 --> 00:45:42.000
and all our our politicians, you
know myself as that bad trying to defend

346
00:45:42.400 --> 00:45:46.119
a security and the peace here instead
of going straight to heaven where it is

347
00:45:49.320 --> 00:45:55.119
he doesn't We do not have to
fight to save ourselves. He doesn't have

348
00:45:55.320 --> 00:46:02.159
to kill the dragons. To kill
the dragons, which he thought pursued him.

349
00:46:02.800 --> 00:46:09.320
No need he erect the heavy walls
of stone and iron, those he

350
00:46:09.519 --> 00:46:19.360
thought would make him safe. He
can remove the bunderous and heavy and useless

351
00:46:19.599 --> 00:46:27.280
armor made for what to chain his
mind to fear and misery? Wow,

352
00:46:28.519 --> 00:46:32.079
to chain the mind to fear and
misery. That's all that such a mindset

353
00:46:32.159 --> 00:46:38.000
does that fights the evil out there. His step is light, and as

354
00:46:38.000 --> 00:46:45.039
he lifts his foot to stride ahead, as star is left behind to point

355
00:46:45.159 --> 00:46:51.320
the way to those who follow him. Forgiveness must be practiced, for the

356
00:46:51.400 --> 00:46:57.639
word cannot perceive its meaning, nor
provide a guide to teach you its beneficence.

357
00:46:58.960 --> 00:47:02.920
There is no thought in all the
world that leads to any understanding of

358
00:47:02.960 --> 00:47:12.480
the laws it follows, nor dead
thought, decapitalized God thought that it reflects.

359
00:47:15.119 --> 00:47:19.360
It is as alien to the world
as ea is your own reality,

360
00:47:19.559 --> 00:47:24.760
and yet it joins your mind with
the reality in you to day with practice

361
00:47:25.239 --> 00:47:32.280
true forgiveness, that the time here
it is of joining be no more delayed,

362
00:47:34.199 --> 00:47:40.239
for we would meet with our reality
in freedom and in peace. Our

363
00:47:40.320 --> 00:47:47.039
practicing becomes the footsteps lighting up the
way for all our brothers who will follow

364
00:47:47.199 --> 00:47:52.079
us to the reality. We share
with them that this may be accomplished.

365
00:47:53.159 --> 00:48:00.360
Let us and hear instructions how we
canna practice that today. Let us give

366
00:48:00.400 --> 00:48:07.840
a quote of an hour twice today
and spend it with the Guide again,

367
00:48:07.119 --> 00:48:13.039
the true guide from out of time. Spend it with the Guide who understands

368
00:48:13.079 --> 00:48:19.119
the meaning of forgiveness and was sent
to us to teach. To teach it,

369
00:48:20.000 --> 00:48:25.440
let us ask of him, let
me perceive forgiveness as it is.

370
00:48:27.719 --> 00:48:32.559
Let us ask that of him.
Let me perceive forgiveness as it is.

371
00:48:35.320 --> 00:48:39.519
And then choose one brother as he
will direct, and catalog his quote unquote.

372
00:48:39.599 --> 00:48:47.559
Since as one by one they cross
your mind, as one by one

373
00:48:49.119 --> 00:49:17.119
they cross your mind, choose one
brother as he will direct, and be

374
00:49:17.400 --> 00:49:25.719
certain not to dwell on any one
of them on any of those sins.

375
00:49:30.440 --> 00:49:37.480
But realize that you're using his quote
unquote offenses. But to save the world

376
00:49:37.639 --> 00:49:45.000
from all ideas of sin, to
save the word from all ideas of sin.

377
00:49:52.920 --> 00:49:59.639
Briefly consider all the evil things you
thought of him, and each time,

378
00:50:00.000 --> 00:50:07.719
ask yourself, would I condemn myself
for doing this? And see before

379
00:50:07.760 --> 00:50:12.400
we had would I accuse myself for
doing this? Now it is would I

380
00:50:12.599 --> 00:50:20.440
condemn myself for doing this? Let
him be freed. That's an action of

381
00:50:20.559 --> 00:50:24.760
mind. Let him be freed from
all the thoughts you had of sin in

382
00:50:24.880 --> 00:50:38.840
him. And now now you are
prepared for freedom. And if you have

383
00:50:39.039 --> 00:50:47.239
been practicing thus fine willingness and honesty, you will begin to sense a lifting

384
00:50:47.400 --> 00:50:59.880
up, a lightening of weight across
your chest, a deep and certain feeling

385
00:51:00.360 --> 00:51:09.559
of relief. We feel we're feeling
now a sense of lifting up, a

386
00:51:09.679 --> 00:51:15.039
lightening of weight across our chest,
a deep and certain feeling of relief.

387
00:51:19.880 --> 00:51:27.000
And the time remaining should be given
to experiencing the escape from all the heavy

388
00:51:27.119 --> 00:51:32.360
change chains you sought to lay upon
your brother, but were laid actually upon

389
00:51:32.400 --> 00:52:16.559
yourself. A saying forgiveness. We're
gonna finish up this lesson now. Forgiveness

390
00:52:16.639 --> 00:52:22.679
should be practiced through the day,
for there will still be many times when

391
00:52:22.719 --> 00:52:28.559
you forget its meaning and attack yourself. And when this occurs, allow your

392
00:52:28.599 --> 00:52:34.320
mind to see through this ilusion,
as you tell yourself, and you can

393
00:52:34.360 --> 00:52:39.800
speak quietly for yourself after me.
Let me perceive forgiveness as it is.

394
00:52:40.320 --> 00:52:46.280
Let me perceive forgiveness as it is. Would I accuse myself of doing this?

395
00:52:47.360 --> 00:52:52.960
Would I accuse myself of doing this? I will not lay this chain

396
00:52:53.360 --> 00:53:01.639
upon myself. I will not lay
this chain upon myself. And in everything

397
00:53:01.679 --> 00:53:09.760
you do, remember no one is
crucified alone, and yet no one can

398
00:53:10.199 --> 00:53:17.840
enter heaven by himself. No one
is crucified alone, and yet no one

399
00:53:19.199 --> 00:53:28.519
can enter heaven by himself. Let
me perceive forgiveness as it is. I

400
00:53:28.760 --> 00:53:34.840
thank you with all my heart for
being here listening, tuning, in joining

401
00:53:35.159 --> 00:53:39.039
with his mind, because this is
an offer of Jesus Christ himself. His

402
00:53:39.239 --> 00:53:45.039
teaching is love and forgiveness, isn't
it? And we are here now to

403
00:53:45.159 --> 00:53:52.239
practice and to lift that, to
live up to it. And now it's

404
00:53:52.320 --> 00:53:58.679
not a concept, it's an idea
in my mind. I'm supposed to live

405
00:53:59.239 --> 00:54:04.079
up to it. And the experience
in its beneficence and its laugh, It's

406
00:54:04.199 --> 00:54:43.639
peace. It offers me no thank
you. Bye bye. You have been

407
00:54:43.679 --> 00:54:50.119
listening to voice from Heaven live in
the Miracle Sealing Center. Remember that God's

408
00:54:50.199 --> 00:54:53.880
voice speaks to you all through the
day. That God goes with you wherever

409
00:54:53.960 --> 00:55:00.639
you go, and that God is
the mind with which you think. God

410
00:55:00.679 --> 00:55:02.760
bless us everyone,
